Patent number: 8835773Abstract: A method of manufacturing a wiring board for use in mounting of an electronic component includes: forming an outermost wiring layer on a surface side where the electronic component is mounted; forming an insulating layer so as to cover the wiring layer; and forming a concave portion in the insulating layer. The concave portion is formed by removing, using a mask formed in a required shape by patterning, an exposed portion of the insulating layer in a step-like shape until a surface of a pad defined at a portion of the wiring layer is exposed. The concave portion is preferably formed by removing the portion of the insulating layer by sand blast.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2010Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Shinko Electric Industries Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shigetsugu Muramatsu, Yasuhiko Kusama

Patent number: 8817459Abstract: A fixing structure for an interface card connector is provided and includes a bottom housing, a board body, an interface card connector, a fixing plate, a torsion spring, and a spring. The bottom housing has an opening and a stop wall. The interface card connector is rotatably located on the board body by a fixing axis and includes a slot. The fixing plate includes a main body, a second spring fixing portion, an interface card connector fixing portion, and a protruding portion. When the board body is moved out the opening and the protruding portion contacts the stop wall, the fixing plate is stopped, and the interface card connector is separated from the interface card connector fixing portion. As a result, the interface card connector is rotated on the board body by the torsion spring, such that the slot is directed upwardly on the board body.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2012Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Wistron Corp.Inventor: Tung-Hsien Lin
